Background:

Durable dropwise condensation is crucial for industrial heat transfer and energy saving.
Maintaining discrete droplets without filmwise condensation at high subcooling is a significant challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop advanced surfaces for ultra-durable dropwise condensation.
To overcome limitations of existing superhydrophobic surfaces in high subcooling conditions.

Main Methods:

Fabrication of hierarchical composite surfaces embedding carbon nanotube arrays.
Utilizing patterned hydrophilic microframes alongside hydrophobic nanostructures.
Characterization of condensation behavior under various subcooling levels (8 K-38 K).

Main Results:

Achieved ultra-durable dropwise condensation across a wide subcooling range.
Demonstrated superior performance compared to existing nanowire surfaces.
Confirmed sustained Cassie wetting mode and efficient droplet mobility (Bond number < 0.055).

Conclusions:

The synergistic composite design enhances condensation heat transfer.
The developed surfaces offer a feasible alternative for efficient heat transfer in high-temperature vapor environments.
Tunable multiscale morphology is key to improved condensation performance.
